Liver Health

Our liver has the amazing ability to regenerate itself, making liver transplant possible. When people donate half their liver, the remaining part of the liver regenerates the section that was removed. This is because the liver can enlarge existing liver cells. New liver cells then grow and multiply in the injury or removal area. However, scarring and inflammation can slow down and even stop healing.

What we eat and drink, alcohol, cigarettes, medical drugs, stress, skincare or cosmetics products, household cleaning detergents, pesticides, inhalants, pollution and other environmental poisons all contribute to this accumulating pool of waste and toxins in our bodies which in turn can make liver detoxification and other bodily functions quickly go into a tailspin. Everyday the body needs to provide enough antioxidants that will inactivate excess free radicals, that causes the ‘detox effect,’ or ‘healing crisis.

This process is commonly known as the ‘detox effect’ or ‘healing crisis’. This is your body’s way of detoxing its dependency on metabolising sugar, caffeine, nicotine to create instant energy. In addition to this, when you eat a lot of sugar, your body uses the resulting insulin spike to make neurotransmitters you need to feel good. Once you reduce your alcohol, carbohydrate, sugar intake your body has to work harder to make these neurotransmitters. When you reduce your caffeine or nicotine intake, you’re increasing the blood flow to your brain which makes your pain receptors more sensitive. This can cause hangover symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, dizziness, mood swings as your body learns to adjust. ¹
